Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 15 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 medium Carrots, sliced
• 2 medium Celery stalks, chopped
• 200 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 250 milliliters Dry red wine (e.g., Burgundy)
• 500 milliliters Beef stock
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
• 300 grams Potatoes, cubed
• 100 grams Frozen peas

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 2

Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and sear them on all sides until browned. Remove the meatballs and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to enhance its flavor.

Step 7

Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and release any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for 3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Add the beef stock, bay leaf, thyme, potatoes, and the seared meatballs back into the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors are well developed.

Step 10

Add the frozen peas in the last 5 minutes of cooking and stir to heat through.

Step 11

Remove the bay leaf, taste the stew, and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Serve the Burgundy Meatball Stew hot in bowls, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
